Queen lying in state - things you should and shouldn't do if going to see the Queen's coffin

The government has released guidance for well-wishers planning to visit the Queen's coffin in Westminster later this week.

It was announced that the lying-in-state will begin at the Palace of Westminster from Wednesday, September 14 at 5pm and will be open 24 hours a day until it closes on Monday, September 19 at 6.30am. There have been warning that queues will be extremely long and disruptions to travel in the capital are expected.

Visitors hoping to see the Queen will have to go through airport-style security with tight restrictions in place to what they can and can't bring in. Rules surrounding behaviour have also been enforced with members of the public asked to treat the event with the utmost respect and dignity.
